The corner of Yue Chen's mouth twitched. No wonder the Parchment Scroll was filled with things like this.
Still, just as Lin Xin had said, Jin Ruchuan was having a hard time at Jialing Pass. That was not necessarily a bad thing for him, though. His aptitude for cultivation was quite good now, and actual combat experience was precisely what he lacked most.
As long as nothing happened to Jin Ruchuan there, Yue Chen could rest easy. At the end of his letter, Jin Ruchuan had also briefly explained how he had been doing. Although he spent nearly half of each day on duty, such intense combat had awakened the potential of his Constitution of Light's Protection. So even though he did not have much time to cultivate each day, he had not fallen behind the others. His spiritual power had now reached the upper end of the middle of the sixth tier.
Just as Yue Chen had thought earlier, once he excluded the "diary" Jin Ruchuan had written in his letter, there was not much left. Although the two of them had signed a Retainer Contract, Yue Chen had always regarded Jin Ruchuan as a companion. To him, the contract was more a means of helping a teammate fulfill his potential.
Jin Ruchuan, however, came from an ancient family that placed great importance on contracts, and he saw things differently. Without Yue Chen's firm insistence, their relationship would have become one of master and servant.
Even so, Jin Ruchuan still unconsciously adopted a servant's manner from time to time when they were together, which made their relationship somewhat peculiar.
At least... his loyalty was not in question.
Yue Chen sighed inwardly, rolled Jin Ruchuan's long Parchment Scroll back up, and tucked it into the Storage Ring on his finger.
